Review: Very Sharp - This is a great chief knife at a great price. The quality is very solid and the knife is extremely sharp. The design and markings on the knife makes it look absolutely beautiful. The knife is easy to handle and grips well for safety. A must have in the kitchen and doesn't break the bank.
Review: Amazing lifelong set of knives, you'll never need another! VERY SHARP!!! - Absolutely gorgeous quality, meticulous details, well balanced and insanely sharp!!! Be extremely careful when using these knives they require very minimal pressure to cut. If your accident prone please have a 1st aide kit with hemostatic powder to stop bleeding on hand. That said the handles are ergonomic and help with control of the blade as well as grip fatigue. These knives make a wonderful gift that will last a lifetime if properly maintained. Might be a little costly to get the entire set all at once but will save you money in the long run and make a wonderful show piece in your kitchen. The packaging they come in is pristine and elegantly artful I almost want to keep them in the packaging!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice quality for the price.
*by A***S on November 3, 2025*

Can’t tell you anything from experience because I bought this as a gift. What I can say is that the knife I received is beautiful, had zero flaws, is a nice hefty weight, and came extremely sharp. If this is truly vg10 steel then this is a fair price for a knife this well made.
